Agh...
i just got asked to join a kick arse band. They are everything i set out to make with my band, only larger. I've gone through a rough patch with my own band, not really knowing what to do with it or if im really doing what i want anymore. but i love who i am working with and im in love with my guitarist.
If i join this new band i couldnt possibly have time for my band. This new band wants to give me a fair bit of creative controll and have amazingly talented people. but my band are also really talented and ive been working almost a year with them. still, as i eventually gave up creative controll, we have gone in a direction that wasnt my intention. now im not sure i feel comfortable with what im singing and i dont enjoy myself like i used to. but there is still something there, i know my band has something the other doesnt have.
ummmm/.....this new band is like muse/bjork/fiona apple. my band is more yeah yeah yeahs/interpol/pj harvey inspired. im really not sure what i want to sing anymore, or what i do better. i like both, but i couldnt do both styles in one band.
ARGH!!! i really dont know what to do. ive worked for so long with this band to just stop, but giving up this opportunity would be silly of me.
im thinking of trialing the new band out and also having a meeting with my band, telling them how i feel and what i think would need to change for me to stay.
this bites. if i leave my band ill be offending my boyfriend and another very close friend.
dating your guitarist = problems. (not that id change it for the world)
